Overkill
This short-lived Los Angeles band is no relation to the much more
popular thrash band
Overkill,
though the two bands came into being around the same time, and in fact
there was enough confusion to force this band's record label, SST Records,
to name the band "Overkill L.A." on later pressings of their album.
That album,
Triumph Of The Will, was released posthumously, as the
band had already broken up due to the usual personal issues, as well
as founding member Ron Cordy leaving to join
Bitch.
The bands punk root's are quite evident on
Triumph, the band mixing
prime punk with an rough, early thrash edge.
Their other claim to fame was once opening for
Trauma,
at the very gig where Trauma's then-bassist Cliff Burton was recruited
to join
Metallica.
